title: [Incorporation of (3R,3'R)zeaxanthin in vesicles of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine. Circular dichroism analysis].
abstract: The organization of carotenoids in biological membranes has been investigated by monitoring by circular dichroism the incorporation of (3R, 3'R) zeaxanthin in small unilamellar vesicles of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC). For ratios zeaxanthin/phospholipid greater than 1/30, a drastic circular dichroism increase indicates the existence of a new type of interaction between zeaxanthin and DPPC.
